As always, looking really nice. I especially love the look of your RACs (heh). Have always been a fan of your work.


Could I convince you to consider putting a RAC5 on a Wolverine?

It really makes me thing on how are they're planning on implement RACs, once we reach the timeline (If we ever do, i mean), since UACs look like mini-guns in MWO, even though they're supposed to be single-barrel as far as i recall.

55 tonners can't use XL250 in TT, you need XL275 for 5/8 MP.

Also, I have an inkling that you really like Rotary 5's...

Too right. Been working on Enforcers all day. Lots of 250s on the mind.

And who doesn't like RAC5? Great in TT, even better in MW4. RAC2s are pretty boss in MW4, too.

RAC-2s are better.So much dakka in one piece of weaponry.

only in MW4. In TT the RAC5 is vastly superior. Up to 30 dmg instead of 12 ....for 2 more tons?

RAC-5s are like 2.5 times more dakka than RAC-2s!

You and me both...the resolution on this pictures STINK! (And the clarity is worse..... The Moto-G was actually pretty good... don't believe the reviews, the Moto E is total crap!)

But RAC-2s shoot faster! That means more dakka!

If you go by TT rules, the "fire-rate" is identical. That is, (up to) 6 shots per turn.

The increased fire-rate of smaller autocannons is purely a video-game thing, because AC2s (and its different types) are kind of shite when it comes to damage (even though they do have impressive range), in my opinion, probably the only good thing is the possibility to TAC the enemy from a high enough range that they can't retaliate.

I mean, TAC'ing someone's Ammo bin on the first turn from basically across the entire map and taking out the mech is probably the most "f*ck you" thing possible. However, if you go by standard rules (if i recall correctly) you can only TAC the CT, so don't put ammo in your CT if you're playing TT.

Still taking an Engine crit early is DEVASTATING, i mean extra 10 heat per turn is a lot and can cripple energy heavy mechs.

In TT. But in PC games, RAC-2s do have more dakka.
